Really good work.  I can see why you like it.

As to mom not buying in, I think it's about Hair.

The color on either side of the part.  I've been warned about this more 
than once.

You know how they are about that.  And skin.  And "smile wrinkles".

My lesson on this is that I never suggest a shot I like.

Just let 'em pick their favorites.  Say nothing except, "when would you 
like these?".

Besides, what do WE know?  We just set the mood, lighting, exposure, do 
the workflow, etc. etc.

Wish it weren't so, but it is.

1. No artistic sense.

2. Infected by her mother's insistence that you look at the camera and 
smile.

3. A little ashamed of what she's saying to the kid.

4. Afraid that if they don't want to smile and look at the camera, it 
reflects badly on parenting skills.

5. She was real pissed and doesn't want the reminder.

or not...
